As we previously mentioned, USA Network has granted a 10-episode arc for the adaptation of the Norwegian crime thriller, Øyevitne. In the plot synopsis, two innocent teenage boys secretly meet up in the forest. They suddenly bear witness to a gruesome shooting. After barely escaping with their lives intact, the two are desperate to keep their relationship a complete secret. They are in fear of being found out by the perpetrator. Though they remain silent, the duo will soon learn the awful truth; what has been seen cannot be unseen. This horrible event they witnessed will change everything forever.
James Paxton will play Lukas Hallenbeck, a young teenaged boy who seems destined popularity, motocross stardom, and the hottest girl in school. But beneath the facade, he's deeply conflicted about his sexuality. Tyler Young plays Philip, a classmate of Lukas who's more comfortable in his skin. Lukas and Philip witness a quadruple murder that will change everything.
Helen Torrance (Nicholson) is described as a former big-city homicide detective. After leaving her detective career behind, the small-town sheriff finds herself investigating the gruesome crime. Gabe (Bellows), a small-town veterinarian, is in love with Helen, but he cannot get through to her self-destructive cycle of living.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Chicago Fire alum has landed himself a series regular role. Ryan Kane (Christie) is a man spiraling into an abyss of violence. After committing a series of passion-fueled murders., Kane hunts for the two eyewitnesses (Young and Paxton) to his crime. Now Ryan and Sheriff Helen Torrance will play a sinister game of cat and mouse.
